Reduced activity in the North Crater area early this morning (image: LBZ)
The spattering activity at the volcano has been gradually waning throughout the last night, the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) issued.
Pulsating short-term lava fountains from the North crater area vents reduced (but still ongoing) and seem to stop feeding the lava flow on Sciara del Fuoco. The lava continues to cool down, so-called crystallization process.
Strombolian explosions take place from the North Crater and intermittently from the Central-South area.
Despite the reduced activity, seismic recordings continue to monitor periods of the high amplitude tremor.
No significant ground deformation was recorded.
